Claude Chabrol begins this episode with a call to the drivers to spare the snakes:after all,they would not run over tortoises.
A wealthy industrial (Julien Guiomar,some may remember as the bishop/gardener in "Le Charme Discret De La Bourgeoisie")go for a drive with his young executive,a proper well-behaved young man (Hippolyte Girardot).All along the ride,flashbacks in black and white and in color tell us about the boss' dearest daughter Josephine ,who became crippled after an accident,but remained a rich heiress the boy covets.In the car ,in the darkest night,it's a heaven-set opportunity for this go-getter .
Not much suspense ,although the "surprise surprise" scene is not bad.
